🦊 Foxes thrive amongst people and can become quite tame. Although often seen at night, early mornings can be a great time to spot them too.

🪶 Keep your eyes on the sky!

The red kite has become one of Hertfordshire's greatest conservation success stories. Once nearly extinct in England, these magnificent birds are now a familiar sight soaring above the Chiltern Hills and around Tring.

Have you seen a red kite recently?
